Payton Dunbar was offered by Rutgers women’s basketball in early May. Dunbar is a crazy elite-level athlete as evidenced by her social media.
In offering Dunbar, Rutgers got officially involved with a player who has off the charts athleticism.
But before diving into this athleticism, first a little bit about Dunbar. A class of 2025 recruit at Jefferson Christian Academy (Ripplemead, Virginia), Dunbar is a 5-foot-11 guard with excellent length. She has impressive range as a shooter and is a difference-maker with her ability to drive and get to the rim as well as defensively.
She is a complete package at guard. Over the past couple of weeks, he has been offered by Michigan, Providence, William & Mary, UPenn and Wake Forest among others.
But that elite-level athleticism is really intriguing for the next level.
Check out this video of Dunbar uniquely showing her athleticism:
Payton Dunbar, this is still my favorite video! 😍

How many recruits are able to pull off a trick like this?

Rutgers pulled in quite an impressive recruiting class in 2024 with five-star guard Kiyomi McMiller and four-star forward Zachara Perkins.
